### SEC Investor Education

Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive.
When it becomes hard to recruit new investors,
or when large numbers of existing investors cash out,
these schemes collapse.

§

Ponzi scheme "red flags" - High returns with little or no risk:
Every investment carries some degree of risk,
and investments yielding higher returns typically involve more risk.
Be highly suspicious of any "guaranteed" [number-go-up to-the-moon] "investment" opportunity.

§

Ponzi scheme "red flags" - Avoid too-good-to-be-true "investments" with claims like:
- "To the moon! To the mars!"
- "Number go up!"
- "Yearly return of 300+% in 2020!"
- "Could quadruple in 2021 and rally to $100,000!"
